WOODBURY— The Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office is again offering county residents a defensive driving class that will bring a five percent discount on vehicle insurance and remove points from their driving records.

The six-hour course will be held over two nights — Wednesday, Nov. 14 and Thursday, Nov. 15 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. It meets in Room 401 of the Gloucester County College Instructional Center in Deptford Township.

Registration costs $10, which covers the processing charge for a driving record point deduction. Such a reduction may result in insurance premium savings, since auto coverage costs more for those with points.

The course — offered three times last year — is taught by Detective Nick Schock, a motor vehicle crash investigator for the Prosecutor’s Office. It includes lessons developed by the National Safety Council.

Participants will learn about driving in bad weather or near larger vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and aggressive drivers.

The class will be limited to 25 people. To register, call Phyllis Covici at the Prosecutor’s Office at 856-384-5534 or email her at pcovici@co.gloucester.nj.us.
